When your application tries to display a site, current Wine loads its custom implementation of Gecko from .msi files. Wine will try to install Gecko when a wineprefix is created. If the file can't be found on your computer, Wine will download it for you. If the download fails, you can download the appropriate version (see table below) yourself from http://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-gecko/.

When your application tries to display a site, current Wine loads its custom implementation of Gecko from .msi files. Wine will try to install Gecko when a wineprefix is created.

For 64 bit (WoW64) Wine, both the x86 and x86_64 .msi files are required.

In most cases, the file(s) should be placed in /usr/share/wine/gecko.

If you installed Wine in some $prefix rather than /usr, place the .msi files in $prefix/share/wine/gecko/ instead of /usr/share/wine/gecko. (e.g. if you installed it from source, then place the files in /usr/local/share/wine/gecko).
